When are you planning a public release ?

btw.
I see that you are using the newest version:

Version 5.3.1   Scintilla:5.3.1   Lexilla:5.2.0  Nov  7 2022 14:22:27

The last one public was:

Release 4.4.6

• Released 1 December 2020.
• Fix building with Xcode 12. Bug #2187.

so it is almost 2 years when last public SciTE.exe in SciTE4AutoIt3 was merged from the main code source.

Whenever I feel it is ready and, more importantly,  have some time to burn to make the new version installer.

You knew that already as I told you this some time ago.

Correct ... but it is working fine so I have no rush as nobody else other than you is either.

• The Dropdown will show al list of possible Variables or Functions and Abbreviation when you start typing. 
• The match is done on the whole functionname now, not just the starting characters.
• The Starting $ or _ characters are ignored in this search and the results are shown in the order of the starting position in the found "words" of the typed characters:
  Example 1: When we type Find the below is returned: As you can see they are sorted in the order of starting position of "Find" and then Alphabetically

 there are sooooo many caveats to the flexibility I've build in with ignoring the  _. I have now made a change that the _ is only ignored in the target Function, but when typed it needs to be there in the target. (update uploaded)

Jos, 

slight pb with the "AddIncludesLua"

If you have the same var definition in 2 .au3 files in the same dir running Ctrl+Shit+z generate the dynamic include to the other

test2.au3 Test.au3

Thanks ... will have a look to see why....

[Jos]

I have made a change to the logic so when a Variable is seen 2 times in the script, the typed occurrence and one other occurrence, it is assumed that the variable is already defined locally and no includes are added. Updated ZIP uploaded.  

[jpm]

Almost good,

not working if a .au3 in the same dir contains a redefinition of an included standard UDF

Thanks

I need a simple reproducer for that please.  

[jpm]

here they are

[Jos]

Thanks... understand your issue now....

I've uploaded an update that checks first if the VAR is already included through an  Standard Include in case an Var is found in an project include.
 

[jpm]

is it normal that a variable defining a UDF constant in a user script try to include the standard UDF which will conflict ?

Cheers

test.au3

[mLipok]

@jpm I know that this is question to @Jos

but...

Normally user should not declare variable in his own script with the same name as in any UDF which he want to use (by placing them in related UDF directories)
so I wondering.

You testing script is for ocasion when you want to make a smallest reproducer then you are declaring variables with the same naming as in UDF in your main script.

But this is very uncommon situation.

So my related question to @Jos is how to easily turn of new DYNAMIC LUA feature and to use old behavior ? 
Maybe some kind of directive ?

This may be also very usefully when you get Au3Portable on some old/slow computer.

Did you check the current available docs for the available directives?  ... or didn't it work as expected?

Oh I forget...

I would say no, but I haven't had that situation yet. Will add a test for that as that really shouldn't happen.  

EDIT: This is going to be a bigger challenge than initially thought.
